VERIFICATION AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

Verification is a compliance activity that helps ensure an asset conforms with specific requirements. In this instance, the main purpose of these requirements is to help protect against injury or loss of life by reducing the probability of major accidents in offshore and onshore process plants.

The benefits of verification

The key benefit of using a verification scheme is the ability to focus inspection and maintenance efforts where risks are highest. By scheduling your activities in this way, any necessary maintenance can be carried out during planned shutdowns, effectively minimising the risk and cost of having to stop operations to carry out essential (and unplanned) maintenance.

In addition, safety levels of these plants are of prime concern to stakeholders.The implementation of a verification scheme demonstrates that safety has been scrutinised to the highest level and is being managed in a standardised and controlled manner thus helping to instil confidence in your operation
